Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Antioxidant, Skin Conditioning

Tocopheryl Acetate is AKA Vitamin E. It is an antioxidant and protects your skin from free radicals. Free radicals damage the skin by breaking down collagen.

One study found using Tocopheryl Acetate with Vitamin C decreased the number of sunburned cells.

Tocopheryl Acetate is commonly found in both skincare and dietary supplements.

Emollient, Humectant, Skin Conditioning

Caprylyl Glycol is a humectant and emollient, meaning it attracts and preserves moisture.

It is a common ingredient in many products, especially those designed to hydrate skin. The primary benefits are retaining moisture, skin softening, and promoting a healthy skin barrier.

Though Caprylyl Glycol is an alcohol derived from fatty acids, it is not the kind that can dry out skin.

This ingredient is also used as a preservative to extend the life of products. It has slight antimicrobial properties.

I feel like this balm is a good starter if you have more oily skin or wear makeup, but what i didn’t like is that whenever i find rubbing it for longer it to get my sebaceous filaments out it starts to dry my skin the more days i use it. This can be fixed by the amount of product i use, but regardless of that it leaves a slight film even after cleansing with a gel based wash afterwards. I found Show more

Good First Cleansing Balm
This cleansing balm is effective at removing waterproof mascara and sunscreen. However, it can slightly sting the eyes when removing make up and does not emulsify after water is added. You must use a second cleanser to fully rinse away the oiling feeling.

This is a great cleanser for any skin type. Despite SkinSort declaring it oil free, it does contain synthetic oils. So it is suitable to remove the make up.
However, even though it’s gentle, it’s also very watery and it does not remove 100% waterproof products. Even cleansing several times with it, you would most likely need an additional cleanser for eyes (that usually irritate my eyes though) Show more

LOVE LOVE LOVE
My sensitive, acne prone skin loves this product - 2 pumps into hands and massage into dry face and anywhere else that spf was applied to that morning. Leaves skin feeling soft, rinses off easily without leaving residue, NO irritation. Used it every night for 3 months now, and I have a quarter of the bottle left still, so don't be put off by the slightly higher price!
